I'm experiencing excessive and prolonged CD-ROM drive access when I remove a CD from the drive. Also, I can create a CD-R using my Yahama CD-RW drive that can be read in other CD-ROMs on other machines and it can be read on my DVD drive but can't be read in my CD-ROM drive. The drive just seems to be in a read loop. The CD-ROM drive has no problems reading commercial CDs but doesn't want to stop attempting to read the disc after it's removed. Takes almost 5 minutes before the CD-ROM settles down. The CD-ROM drive is an AOpen 56X drive.

Hope this doesn't sound too confusing. I'm running an AMD T-Brid 1.33Mhz on an EPOX 8KTA3 board with 512MB SDRAM. My operating system is Win XP and all my drives are recognized for what they are. I don't believe I had this problem under WinME.

Thanks
